...called because it has been bloodless), a grand design that is intended to wrest Iran from the middle ages into modern industrialized society. Having laid the groundwork through extensive land reforms and a massive literacy drive and aided by annual oil royalties worth more than $500 million and an influx of $2 billion in foreign investment capital, the Shah has launched his country headlong into what is far and away the Middle East's fastest-moving, most ambitious development program. From broad, modern boulevards in Teheran to the effusion of makeshift classrooms in the hinterlands, it has already begun...
Iranians see the U.S. action as a threat to the continued influx of dollars, to the completion of their development plan, and to their foreign-exchange position. "Balance of payments simply isn't that important," says Hoveida. "For a very small capital saving, the U.S. is badly damaging Iran's chances to develop." U.S. officials have privately explained to the irate Iranians that the move was aimed at big-spending American oil companies.

The only convenient way for cars and trucks leaving the underpass to get to Kirkland St. would have been via Sumner Road...
...told, since the siege at Plei Me first began, the enemy suffered 1,769 dead. Some 140 were captured, as were 903 individual and 110 larger weapons -almost enough armament to equip a regiment. That was evidence enough of the fresh influx of North Vietnamese troops that U.S. intelligence had long anticipated once the rainy season ended. Where the infiltration rate down the Ho Chi Minh trail was once 1,000 a month, it is now probably running 2,500, bringing, to date, seven, possibly eight North Vietnamese regiments into South Viet...
